Ann Böttcher

Enquire about artworks

Scientifically and methodically, Ann Böttcher examines the visual world of nature from a variety of perspectives. For example, she examines the fir tree as a symbol of the formation of territorial claims or national identities – everything from extreme nationalism to the image of obstinacy and heavy-mindedness.

Her delicate and understated pencil drawings are meticulously executed
and refer to a nature-romantic aesthetic and botanical visual world. Böttcher shows how facts, myths, memories and values create an ambiguous picture of what we consider nature to stand for. How man consciously or unconsciously constructs his own environment when
it is allowed to represent our ideas and desires and that this image is constantly changing.

Cecilia Edefalk

Enquire about artworks

One of Sweden’s most celebrated artists, Cecilia Edefalk’s intuitive and deeply personal practice often draws from things that she encounters in her everyday life — whether a field of dandelions, a novel, or memories of visiting a church in Italy. Edefalk views repetition to express different ideas. She isolates transitory moments of perception, multiplying and dividing the forms that emerge from them, to create visionary meditations on nature, the mutability of time, and natural cycles of growth and decay.

Her choice of subjects is often based on an intuition, refined to carry out serial investigations of a single motif and experiment with duplication, scale and installation.
